"If We Ever Meet Again" Video Review

"If We Ever Meet Again" is one of the singles which is taken from Timbaland's December 8 release "Shock Value 2". The song features pop singer Katy Perry.

Timbaland told MTV that will.i.am's work on "I Gotta Feeling" inspired him to make "If We Ever Meet Again": "When I did this song, I was in love with this record called ... you're gonna be surprised. The record didn't have anything to do with ['If We Ever Meet Again'], but when I heard [the Black Eyed Peas'] 'I Gotta Feeling,' I said, 'I want a record just like that on my album.' I said, 'I gotta do me a "I Gotta Feeling" record.' Me and one of my producers, Jim Beanz, we came up with this concept. I said, '["I Gotta Feeling"] is happy, but I like it.' It gives a good feeling".

On the record, Timbaland sings, instead of rap: "It's not like it's incredible singing, but it made sense for me and it fits my voice," he explained. "To get somebody else to sing it, it might sound too overdone. I like it better with mistakes I make mistakes. With me singing it, it gives it a different kind of swagger to it".

The music video was directed by Paul "Coy" Allen, who directed Morning After Dark and Say Something. Timbaland told MTV that he wanted the video to be serious and maybe have Perry playing his guardian angel: "I wanna make something deep, I don't know if I wanna make it like a relationship. I wanna make it like she saved my life with whatever depression I was going through, whether it be drug depression, weight-loss depression something. ... Will she be around if I go through this again?".

The video, rather than focusing on a serious relationship, as mentioned above, focuses on the love story between a jewel thief and an art thief, interspersed with performance pieces from Perry and Timbaland.
